Meet the Staff
Sandy Tjaden
K-3rd Lead Teacher Mrs. Tjaden joined the staff at Peace Lutheran in August, 2023.
She earned her elementary education degree at Winona State
University, Winona, Minnesota and has a Masters in Early
Childhood Special Education from Fort Hays State University,
Hays, Kansas. Mrs. Tjaden has worked in the field of education
for 38 years. Prior to coming to Brookings she taught Early
Childhood Special Education in Southeast Minnesota.
Teaching children from the Christian perspective and guiding
them along in their faith is a bonus here at Peace Lutheran.
Mrs. Tjaden and her husband Marv have 2 grown daughters.
One daughter is here in Brookings with her husband and sons.
Being closer to those grandsons is a delightful part of moving to
Brookings! Our other daughter and her husband live in Prescott,
WI along with many furry critters.
When she is not working here at Peace, Mrs. Tjaden enjoys
riding her bicycle, taking nature hikes, and reading books.
During the winter she also enjoys gliding across the snow on her
cross-country skis.
